Intermittent fault detection for linear discrete-time stochastic systems with unknown disturbance under Round-Robin protocol

Abstract

The problem of intermittent fault (IF) detection is studied for a class of linear discrete-time stochastic systems with unknown disturbance under the influence of a class of networked phenomena by using the moving horizon estimation (MHE). Aiming to normalise the transmission of data in network systems, the Round-Robin (RR) protocol is introduced for linear discrete-time stochastic systems, so the system is converted to a linear periodic system. By using the lifting technique and superposition principle, the linear periodic discrete-time system is transformed into a linear discrete time-invariant system. An MHE strategy is developed to cope with unknown disturbance by introducing provisional estimates of external unknown disturbances. By utilizing the moving horizon estimator, a scalar residual decoupled from the unknown disturbance is designed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a simulation example.
